    I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

        Take some liberties: for one, it’s a manger, add animals. For two, it’s a work of fiction, add aliens, or Wookies, or robots. For three, the whole point is to have kids feel included and be interested, so add MDMA or something.

            You think anyone cares how many “animals” are on stage?

            If they can’t creatively figure out how to give everyone a part they can be excited about, then they have no business producing the show. I mean, a fucking door? Pathetic.

        I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

        I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

          Come on, Billy, you need to bulk up by mid December so you’re heavy enough to pull the rope that opens the curtains! The entire play depends on you!
